Blue Cruise Reviews 

What a fantastic time we had. The food and staff were fabulous. Look forward to go back again.

What can I say, we have just returned from our second charter experience on the Babavelli 9. There were 11 adult and 1 six month old family members.
We wondered if it could be any better than the last time we went seven years ago. Well, the whole Bluecruise team blew it out of the park.
From Yasmin and her team in Head Office to Captain Ali, Ishmael, Ennis, Sali and Dawn, every thing we could possibly need was catered for. The food prepared by Ishmael was incredible and service from Ennis and Sali was impeccable. Captain Ali is a gem and please do yourself a favour if you are looking for total relaxation do not look any further than Bluecruise. YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT,

Unforgettable 10 days on the Ros Mare from Gocek. Blue Cruise is a fantastic company, evident from our first contact with Yasmin who is very knowledgable and generous in her support. We were six on the boat, including three children (youngest aged 3). We had worried that it might be difficult with such a small child who couldn’t swim but it wasn’t a problem at all - thank goodness for Yasmin’s reassurance which meant we had ten days instead of 7. I would encourage you to book for as long a time as you can. A week would have felt too short! The boat was even more beautiful than we had imagined, sleek and very elegant as well as very spacious. Our Captain Catagay and his crew were fantastic, somehow anticipating every possible thing and so kind to the children. The food was incredible - some of the best we have had in Turkey, especially all the fresh fish and slow cooked lamb. We sailed at the end of May, which meant some slightly cooler days but always able to swim. It was lovely having the beautiful bays to ourselves. Do not hesitate! This is an incredible holiday.

Just returned from yet another amazing Blue Cruise trip aboard Babaveli 9.

As with all the BC gulets, you will find a very comfortable cabin with an ensuite (which had had a little refurb since my last trip to a include a lovely large shower head!)

There are acres of space for sunbathing & chilling including some shaded areas should you wish a reprieve from the sun

As always, the food was A M A Z I N G - big shout to Ismail our chef last week for keeping us so well fed and so much variety, there's always something for everyone (even the fussiest of eaters!)

As it was early in the season, we had some coves entirely to ourselves a few nights, which was incredibly peaceful & simply glorious for your pre breakfast swim (not mandatory lol!) It's simply the best way to start your day

Gulet cruising is the most relaxing holiday you will ever take, so give yourself a treat & book a cruise today

We had the most amazing holiday on board the Blue Cruise Lycian Queen and made some fantastic memories. The Gulet is equal to a 5* plus floating hotel. The Lycian Queen Team are professional, friendly, good humoured, helpful and polite. Their whole aim is to please and make your holiday as pleasurable as possible, the food is plentiful and so delicious. This was our 5th time sailing with Blue Cruise, we will be booking again soon for our next trip. The team in the London office, Yasmin, Ash etc are also first class when booking your Gulet holiday and respond quickly when contacted for any reason. If you haven't experienced a Blue Cruise Gulet style holiday I would highly recommend, you will not be disappointed!

Stayed on albatros D, incredible food and beautiful scenery however the boat could do with additional seating at the front of the gulet similar to others.

A truly wonderful holiday for all the family.
Our family of 8 (9 - 69 years) have just returned from an amazing week on one of Blue Cruise's Gulets.
Based in Gocek, on the beautiful Turkish Lycian Coast, we moored in tranquil anchorages, where we used the kayaks, paddleboard and windsurfer provided. Lots of great swimming too in the turquoise blue water.
The captain, the crew and the local rep. were very friendly and extremely helpful. We always looked forward to the food, which was delicious, varied and plentiful!
From the outset, the Blue Cruise staff in London were great, especially Yasmin, who was very patient with all my queries!
We had the most relaxing holiday ever and would like to repeat the experience as soon as possible!
Thank you so much Blue Cruise!
Val & Family.

Just back from a fabulous cruise on the Lycian Queen, everything was fantastic, beautiful clean gullet, great service, crew, food, weather, just wish we were still there. Will be booking for 2022.

My friends and I have our third amazing holiday with Blue Cruise. Everything about it was excellent. We had a wonderful week on board. The boat was magnificent, the food was excellent, the crew were stupendous, and it was a wonderful experience.

The Best Holiday Imaginable.

We have had very good holidays with Blue Cruise before but this trip was beyond perfect.
We had wonderful support from Yasmin and Ash in the UK. They sorted everything from flights, to transfers, to flight credits (when two of our group had to back out) and provided ALL the information we needed for a perfect trip. They also, for reasons I will never completely understand, upgraded us from the beautiful Optimist, to the absolutely amazing Lycian Dream for a minimal extra cost.
On arrival Dawn, our wonderful representative and expert on all things Turkish, briefed us over drinks in a local waterside restaurant, took us shopping for all the refreshments we would need for our trip (her recommended wines were delicious) and sorted out some shopping essentials (the best Turkish Delight to take home.)
The boat was beautiful, absolutely spotless, exceptionally comfortable, with massive lounging/sunbathing areas, elegant back deck dining space, wonderfully comfortable rooms and lots of ‘toys’, including paddle board, surf board, kayaks, snorkels/masks/flippers, etc.
And as to our Captain Yeyser and crew (Yakel - Engineer and Seaman; Fatih - Deck Boy; Soner - Deck Boy; and master Chef Ilhan) they could not have been more welcoming, kindly or considerate. Note: if you are thinking of dieting on a gulet holiday, think again. The meals prepared by Ilan were wholesome, healthy, utterly delicious and irresistible.

Terrible experience with the management of this company. Our flights were cancelled by Turkish Airlines. Moreover 3 of our party of 14 are asthmatics and medically advised not to travel due to Covid-19. We were not even offered the chance to transfer our deposit for a cruise in 2021but just told to change our flight arrangements. Stay away from this company!

We had a fantastic holiday on Baba Velli 9 in Turkey with Captain Ali and his crew. We were very lucky to get away this summer after lockdown in the UK and the many rearranged flights and changes to itinerary were worth it! Yasmin was fantastic in helping us to navigate all of the changes and was reassuring and professional throughout and able to answer thoroughly our many questions. The holiday was one of the best that we have had as a family and we would highly recommend it. The boat, water, surroundings and food were all stunning and it was a truly relaxing holiday. Sleeping on deck under the stars was a real treat for both grown ups and kids.

Dear Yasmin,

Just wanted to let you know we had a fantastic cruise on the Queen, what a boat!
Everything was amazing, food, crew, and boat. Its was so spacious and luxurious, everyone loved it, it is the best cruise we have done so far.

Many thanks to you for giving us the upgrade.

We are having great difficulty getting any kind of reasonable response from this company. Months age we paid a 50% deposit for a gulet cruise that is due to begin at the beginning of July. Our government won't let us travel due to Covid-19. We are unable to get a refund (our preferred option) or have been given the option of doing another cruise next year which is difficult, as there are only 2 available, neither of which fit into my available school holiday time. It is very frustrating, and I realise that it is difficult for everyone, but we are now being told to pay in full or forfeit our trip. A refund, and some understanding, would have ensured that we would use this company when travel becomes possible for us and recommend them to our friends.

Was lucky enough to choose Blue Cruise for my third gulet experience. From my first contact with Yasmin in the London office i received nothing but the best guidance and help booking the trip. The boat was spotlessly clean, the crew were professional and friendly and i met some great people. Would definately like to do a trip with them next year just need to try and find flight home that doesnt mean im stuck with my luggage for hours on the final day. A suggested solution would be if a courtesy room could be made available to people with late flights home. Not a complaint, just constructive feedback.

Just returned from our holiday on Blue Cruise with Captain Ali and his wonderful crew
Met some lovely people too ,it's so relaxing wonderful

The only down bit was the TURKISH lady who treated the crew appalling she and her English husband were selfish and very demanding their behavior was uncalled for but we did have a wonderful time despite them and everyone else was great

We have cruised with Blue Cruise many times and this is the only time this has happened to us and will do again the gullets and crew are wonderful

We have not long returned from an amazing holiday aboard the beautiful Gulet Blue Cruise.
We were very well looked after by Captain Ali and Sulamein and the rest of the crew.
The food was amazing, the company was excellent.
Many thanks to Ash who who kept in contact throughout the booking process. He was very helpful and answered all my questions speedily and thoroughly.
I highly recommend Blue Cruise to anyone who would like to take a holiday of this type.
We had such a relaxing time, swimming, kayaking, sightseeing, sunbathing.
Thank you Blue Cruise, it was brilliant.

Just returned from our second Blue Cruise holiday on the Kurt K.
Amazing we got there really because hours before our flight ( organised by them ) Thomas Cook ceased trading. In the early hours of Monday morning they re organised both our flights and we managed to meet our boat for the complete trip. Customer Service 10/10.
The cruise was amazing and exceeded all expectations especially the food.

We were a group of 12 friends this time, for ourselves it was the 5th time of gulet cruising with Blue Cruise. The co. is excellent in its running to give a stress free trip, well organised and all very friendly. We were on Salmakis this time with an excellent captain Sahli and the crew and cook. Variety of food, excellent, the crew always ready to help in anyway. We were able to discuss each day with the captain as to where we were going next, being all boaters ourselves we were naturally interested in the charts. Can't fault Blue Cruise and we shall certainly be going again. Thank you for a lovely holiday.

Absolutely fantastic cruise. Such fun, great staff and wonderful captain Yusef, not to mention his extremely talented wife Fatima who looks after us by preparing delicious healthy meals. Backing all this up is a friendly and helpful staff in the Blue Cruise office, Definitely a 5 star trip.
